WFF

We'll keep protecting wildlife, forests and oceans from poaching, destruction and climate change, but we need help. 

Our incredible planet and its beautiful wildlife are in serious danger – which means our work is more vital than ever.

We couldn't do what we do without the support of people who leave us a legacy – in fact, gifts in wills make up about a fifth of all our donated income. They've helped us:

• Increase the number of tigers in Nepal by around 60% since 2010

• Bring rhino numbers in Nepal to their highest for 60 years, and keep poaching of rhinos, elephants and tigers at bay across the country

• Reduce the rate of deforestation in Brazil by 75% since 2000, while supporting local communities

To find out more about how leaving a gift in your Will could help WWF please see our booklet.

Trees For The Future

We see converting degraded and denuded farmland into Forest Gardens one of the planet’s best ideas for eliminating hunger, extreme poverty, deforestation and for lessening humanity’s contributions to climate change. TREES’ Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG) is to break the cycle of poverty and eradicate hunger for our first 1 million people by planting 500 million trees in 125,000 Forest Gardens by 2025. This will entail working with approximately 125,000 families to revitalize a quarter of a million acres, coupled with interventions at different levels of the value chain (related to inputs, credit, water and marketing) to ensure the long term sustainability and continual spread of Forest Gardens.

If we can grow a movement by convincing massive numbers of farmers across any given landscape to plant Forest Gardens, we can, first and foremost, eliminate chronic hunger and extreme poverty on that landscape, but even more, at scale we will have a program that can reverse deforestation and meaningfully begin to mitigate climate change.

Wildland Firefighter Foundation

Wildland Firefighter Foundation’s main focus is to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist injured firefighters and their families. We honor and acknowledge past, present, and future members of the wildland firefighting community, and partner with private and interagency organizations to bring recognition to wildland firefighters.

Wildland firefighters represent the diversity of the land they protect.  They are federal, state and local firefighters, private sector firefighters, interface firefighters, and volunteers from rural communities and towns across the United States.  Many are long-time career professionals, some much newer to the job. They’re ordinary people doing an extraordinary job, a community of committed individuals who work and train to protect our private and public lands.

Rosie’s Rainbow Fund

Rosie’s Rainbow Fund runs music therapy sessions at the John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital Oxford, the Royal Berks Hospital in Reading and Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

We offer bereavement support for families after the loss of a child. In the
John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital, we have a therapeutic aromatherapy massage therapist working three days a week, treating and providing pastoral care to the extremely stressed parent carers of long stay children. Beginning in 2017, we have been proud to launch our therapeutic paediatric aromatherapy massage programme for seriously ill, special needs, and premature children and babies at the John Radcliffe Children's Hospital. 

In the community we provide music therapy for special needs children in schools and centres around Berks, Bucks and Oxon. We also support disabled children in schools and respite centres with essential equipment.

The trustees of Rosie’s Rainbow Fund have personal experiences of the stress families undergo when a child is seriously ill and in hospital for months on end, and have personally experienced the loss of a child. The charity emerged from an identified need to support children and families in distressing circumstances and to try to alleviate some of the strain.

Brain Research UK

We are the leading national funder dedicated to research into neurological conditions. Our vision is a world where everyone with a neurological condition lives better, longer.

• Every 90 seconds someone is admitted to hospital with a brain injury

• £10 billion is the annual cost of migraines to the UK economy

InDependent Diabetes Trust

We are an organisation for people living with diabetes run by people living with diabetes. We recognise that when one person in a family lives with diabetes, this affects other family members and we offer support to partners and parents. We raise awareness of important issues for people with diabetes and provide information in non-medical language.
